Headlights Dim on one side?

[vango003]

New here, so Hiya all!

I recently bought some aftermarket headlights, here is a link to them:
Holden VT Commodore Angel Eye Black Altezza Headlights | eBay

Didn't have a problem with the original lights, and these new one's are a simple swap only having to deal with one plug... but the Drivers side headlight fades on and is very dim, while the other one is working just fine.

Got my uncle to have a quick look and it seems the grounding wires actually do nothing at all? And the headlights still turn on with or without the relay plugs that came with these lights, Both fuses are fine as well... something strange going on...

I don't actually no much about cars n such especially the electrical side, but it could be something simple and asking here could save me a $100+ trip to the auto elect lol

Any info would be great, Thanks

pretty sure those altezza after market ones u have to make an extra ground wire to the chassis

check the fuse for that head light it could be half blown i had it happen to me

make sure your globes aren't blown too. i had the same issue with the vs headlights they make.

i have heard there is an issue with them, the plug on the rh side is upside down for some reason

Thanks for all the replies, i couldn't seem to work it out myself but its in the shop right now so hopefully i'll have the answer soon



...Just got it back. 2 wires were around the wrong way, one of the fuses were blown that i didnt see for some reason and another wire had been opened about halfway down with solder all over it.... ah wells its working now lol

now its time for the garnish and tail lights this weekend!
